Hello,
I have this column of time values:
00:00:03.3592675
00:00:00
00:00:03.8592515
00:00:03.6873820
00:00:03.8436270
00:00:03.3436430
It is in varchar format. I tried converting it to datetime but get an invalid format error message.
How can I sum up these values and average them out?
Thanks!

I'm trying to convert a varchar value to datetime format but it throwing below error:
The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.
here is sample query:
declare @test varchar(20)
set @test ='30/04/2015 23:59:59'
select CONVERT(datetime, @test)
One interesting observation above query run fines in Sql 2008 but not in Sql 2014...

madhivanan asks for sample table data to avoid using a cursor. I could really use this, so here is the table
CREATE TABLE #T (
FORMULA VARCHAR(15),
ANSWER decimal(15,8)
)
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1.0 + 2', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1/2', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1/2+2', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1/(2+2)',NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '3*7.5', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '3/2*.6-2', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '(1-1)', NULL
SELECT * FROM #T
-- RUN THE MATH FUNCTIONS, UPDATE THE TABLE'S ANSWER COLUMN WITH THE ANSWER
SELECT * FROM #T
DROP TABLE #T
I would expect this output:
FORMULA ANSWER
====================
1 NULL
1.0 + 2 NULL
1/2 NULL
1/2+2 NULL
1/(2+2) NULL
3*7.5 NULL
3/2*.6-2 NULL
FORMULA ANSWER
====================
1 1.00000000
1.0 + 2 3.00000000
1/2 0.50000000
1/2+2 2.50000000
1/(2+2) 0.25000000
3*7.5 22.50000000
3/2*.6-2 -1.10000000
(1-1) 0.00000000
Any help appreciated, thanks,

hi,
How do i convert a varchar field into the datetime data type? the reason i need this lies in the requirement that in the earlier data base the column that is hlding the date value is having the data type as varchar. and in the new design the column data type is datetime. i am using sql scripts for the data migration from the older design to the newer and got stuck with this datetime convertion issue. do let me know the best possible solution.
following are the sample data that is theer in the older table for the date.
12/12/2003
1/13/2007
01132004
1-1-2004
1.2.2001
there is no uniformity of the data that is stored currently.

Hi,
I am trying to access a date column up to millisecond precession. So I cast date to as follows:
Code BlockCONVERT(varchar(23),CREATE_DATE,121)
I get millisecond part as a result of query but its 000?.
When I try to test the format by using getDate instead of DateTime column I get right milliseconds.
CONVERT(varchar(23),GetDate(),121) --Gives right milliseconds in return
Hi:
I have a column call Date_Sent (28/02/2004)(dd/mm/yyyy) format as varchar at beginning. I want to convert to other column as datetime.
I use Query like:
SELECT
CAST(SUBSTRING(Date_Sent,1,2)as int) + '/' +CAST(SUBSTRING(date_sent,4,2) as int) + '/' +CAST(SUBSTRING(DATE_SENT,7,4) as int)
From MyTable
It is not working, anybody can give me some advise!
thanks!
Hi,
I wanted to convert the varchar to date time and here is what i am doing
DECLARE @dt VARCHAR(20)
SET @dt = '20070111' -- YYYYMMDD format
select CONVERT(datetime, @dt, 120)
This works perfectly fine and the result would be- 2007-01-11 00:00:00.000
But if i changed my datetime format from YYYYMMDD to YYYYMMDDHHMM then this is failing and throwing
"Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string."
Can any one please let me know how do we achieve this?

Hi,
I'm facing a small issue with date conversions. It would have been great if someone could help me out. I have a field in my database (SQL Server 2000) called SavDateTime of type varchar(50). I store dates in this field in the format "dd/MM/yy hh:mms". A sample date would be "23/10/2007 10:15:30 AM". Now I need to have an order by for this field, say like,
select * from sample order by SavDateTime desc
When I execute this query I get an error saying "The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.". I tried using the convert method also like CONVERT(DATETIME,SavDateTime,103), but the problem still exists. It would have been helpful if you could provide me with a solution to this problem.
Thanks & Regards,

I have a textbox that is receiving a date in the format mm/dd/yyyy. The field in the database is VarChar size 10. I purposely don't want to use the DateTime data type for various reasons. When I extract the text from that textbox:
Example:4/11/2005
I do my INSERT. When I look in the database at that field, it shows up like:April 11, 2005 12
The database's field is VarChar! How/why is it doing automatic DateTime formatting?
hi, good day, if i have a table as follow:
Create table test
(
student_name varchar(20),
student id varchar(20),
register_dt varchar(50)
)
and insert data like
insert into test values('rebecca','0001','2006-08-08 12:15:03')
after all , i would like to query the data and insert into another table say data_tbl where it define as follow
Create table data_tbl
(
student_name varchar(20),
student id varchar(20),
register_dt datetime
)
would the test table regiter_dt auto convert into datetime format or we need to convert it before insert into data_tbl table?
Below is my query.Its working great if i remove ,Cast(C.ClassTime as time) as StartDate.But when i use this i get an error as The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value My ClassName is a varchar.Whose definition i cant change to DateTime now.But i want to cast it to DateTime.
Code:
Select C.ClassID as Appointment_Id,C.ClassName as Appoitment_Descr,Cast(C.ClassTime as time) as StartDate,C.EndClassTime as EndDate, 'Class' as Type
From Dojo D inner join DojoClass C on D.SchoolID = C.DojoSchoolID
Where D.SchoolID = @DojoID
and C.Days like'%' + @Days + '%'
Union
Select E.DojoEventID as Appointment_Id,E.EventName as Appoitment_Descr , E.EventStartDate as StartDate , E.EventEndDate as EndDate,'Event' as Type
From Dojo D inner join DojoEvent E on E.DojoID = D.SchoolID
Where D.SchoolID = @DojoID and @Date
Between E.EventStartDate and E.EventEndDate
how can i cast it correctly?
I can't get a varchar to datetime conversion to work. The varchar data is in the form yyyymmddhhmi
I tried convert(datetime, '200508310926')
also tried cast('200508310926' as datetime) both have error "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string"
Is there a format code that needs to be there? If so, I can't figure out what it should be.
I eventually need to convert these to dates and compare them to getdate, example:
...where convert(datetime, dtfield) >= getdate()-1

Hello,
I'm trying to CONVERT some DateTime column to VarChar in the SELECT part but still do a DateTime ORDER BY while using a UNION.
In other words, does anyone know how to make this work:
create table #temp1 (
d datetime
)
create table #temp2 (
d datetime
)
insert into #temp1(d)
select '2001-12-12' union
select '2002-11-11'
insert into #temp2(d)
select '2003-10-10' union
select '2004-09-09'
--works fine-------------------------------
select convert(varchar, d, 101) dd from #temp1
order by d
-------------------------------------------
--but can't make this work-------------------
select convert(varchar, d, 101) dd from #temp1
union select convert(varchar, d, 101) dd from #temp2
order by dd -- wrong type of sorting
--order by d-- error
--order by cast(dd as datetime) -- error
-------------------------------------------
drop table #temp1
drop table #temp2
I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance,
Thomas
Hi,I want to change 2 default behaviors of ms-sql server within a connection.1. All varchar (etc.) fields should be returned as UTF-8.I know about field attribute collation and convert function,but I want simple query like:SELECT * FROM table;to return all varchars as UTF-8, no matter how the fields weredefined and which collation.In MySQL I execute: "SET NAMES 'utf-8';" after connecting to serverIn PgSQL I use native function: pg_set_client_encoding()2. Default datetime format is sth like this: "Apr 20 2008 12:01PM"I just want all datetimes fields were returned as:"2008-04-20 12:01:02"I can do that with function convert() (style=20) but I want(as in question above) a simple query like:SELECT * FROM table;to return date and time formatted as described above.In MySQL and PgSQL the format "2008-04-20 12:01:02" is the defaultone.Is it possible to do that? If yes, please tell me how can I do that?Wladyslaw

but how can i get @dt3 and @dt4 into datetime so i can pass it to DATEDIFF() function.
so plz Guide me. or if u know how to write it then plz write here

I have a varchar(512) data type on my INVOICE_DATE field and it is in the following format DD/MM/YYYY.
I need it to be in MM/DD/YYYY and have tried with no luck.
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(512), INVOICE_DATE, 101) AS [MM/DD/YY]
FROM F0AInvoices_Tags
This does not swap the numbers as I would have hoped for reporting purposes.
Hi everyone.
I know, I know, it should have been a datetime from the start...but here's the problem.
I'm trying to sort by my date field but because it looks like: "04/03/2004 12:14:21 PM" it's not ordering it properly using:
ORDER BY [Date]
Are there any work arounds for this? Is there some way of doing:
ORDER BY covert(datetime, [Date], 103) or something?
Cheers
Andrew
When you converting varchar to date time
SELECT convert(varchar,getdate())
What is the getdate here
i.e. we are converting any value to today's date

Hi,
It is not exactly what I stated in the subject - It's an outcome - exception thrown while executing non-query command.
I get this exception when I try to execute my stored procedure that takes datetime as one of its parameters.
I am using dataset designer to create table adapters and build queries. Then I simply use objectdatasource component that uses one of the table adapters and bind it to for example a detailsview control.
When I run this in debug mode and trace the objects everything looks perfect including these datetime parameters. It is sql server that throws the exception. I ran the sql profiler to see what exactly is going on, and I captured the command that is sent by ADO - it's broken into several lines right in the middle of my datetime parameters... this is the source of the problem. Everything is working fine when I take this command and execute it as a single line in the sql management studio.
Is there anything about ADO that I do not know?
